Legal documents

• Special conditions for the use of the self-collateralisation service provided by Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt
  
  
• Intraday refinancing by means of self-collateralisation, Section XI of the General Terms and Conditions of the Deutsche Bundesbank (only available in german)
  
  
• Confirmation by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) of end-of-day reporting
  
  

BaFin has recognised the Bundesbank’s end-of-day reporting at 6 p.m. as sufficient documentation of the business transactions conducted by the credit institutions participating in self-collateralisation. All SC transactions that have been successfully processed by 6 p.m. are treated in the same way as intraday postings and the individual transactions do not have to be shown in the general ledger. Only transactions that remain open at the end of the day (ie 6 p.m.) are relevant for the balance sheet.
